Spiced Apple Muffin

I’ve been meaning to try this recipe for quite a while. The mixture apple, cinnamon and nutmeg is a match made in heaven and these muffins are perfect for any occasion. You’ll see that it takes no longer than 10 minutes to prepare and you can even do it with your kids. I’ve done something similar with my three year old niece and we both had a really nice time. The only difficult thing about this recipe is to wait until the muffins cool down before eating it as the whole house will be smelling like Christmas morning.
